The Houston Rockets march on with their small-ball experiment. After they traded away Clint Capela and brought in Robert Covington, critics thought this would never work out. But so far they have been doing well after beating the rather tall-lineup of the Lakers in Game 1. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/robert-covington-2-scaled.jpg] After their win, Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green [https://www.essentiallysports.com/nba-news-basketball-goldens-state-warriors-kevin-durant-reveals-how-his-relationship-with-draymond-green-turned-sour/] wrote a thought-provoking tweet about the future of the big man situation in the league. The Warriors season ended early after they didn’t qualify for the bubble. But being away from on-court action has brought out the analyst in Green and fans are loving his insightful takes. WILL THE HOUSTON ROCKETS EXPERIMENT BRING AN END TO THE BIG MAN? The traditional big men in the league are already on the decline, with the rise of three-point shooting. A lot of centers like Nikola Jokic [https://www.essentiallysports.com/nba-news-tower-of-power-nba-analyst-lauds-denver-nuggets-center-nikola-jokic-for-clutch-performance-against-utah-jazz-orlando-bubble-basketball/], Karl-Anthony Towns, and Brook Lopez are already mastering the outside shooting skill. If the small-ball experiment works out for the Rockets, this decline will just be worse. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/jokic-towns.jpg] Earlier the Rockets didn’t mind being outrebounded and just killed the opposition with their perimeter shooting. But in last night’s game, they showed that they have the hustle to fight on the glass too. Going up against three seven-footers in Anthony Davis, Dwight Howard, and JaVale McGee, the Rockets still managed to get the same number of rebounds [https://stats.nba.com/game/0041900221/] as the Lakers. The excellent defensive displays of P.J. Tucker and Robert Covington have also been crucial factors of this lineup. Tucker has been a rock in the paint despite going against taller big men while Covington has been a menace from the perimeter to the interior. Like Jusuf Nurkic [https://twitter.com/bosnianbeast27/status/1302104556642336769] pointed out while replying to Draymond, the Warriors started this trend of being able to win with just outside shooting. The Rockets have taken it one step ahead and look to bring about a new revolution in the league. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/houston-rockets.jpg]

<h2 style="text-align: center">Anthony Davis in 2024: Early Life, College Career, NBA Draft, Notable Records and Accolades</h2>
Anthony Davis currently plays for the Los Angeles Lakers in the National Basketball Association (NBA). He started his career in the league with the New Orleans Pelicans, or New Orleans Hornets, as it was known then. The player won the NBA title with the Lakers in 2020, after he and LeBron James led them to a stunning victory. The power forward remains a premium shot-blocker and can score at will. Often derailed by injuries, when he is fit and healthy, Anthony Davis has no limits.

He made his first playoff appearance in 2015. In the next season, he signed a five-year, $145 million contract extension with the Pelicans. However, a few months into the season, Davis' season ended because of shoulder and knee injuries. Davis has several tattoos, a few visible while playing ball. Notably, he has a tattoo of Mamba as a tribute to Kobe Bryant.

<h2>Anthony Davis' Early Life and High School</h2>
Born in Chicago on March 11, 1993, Davis was raised in the Englewood neighborhood. He started his playing days in high school with Perspectives Charter School. However, not all schools have world-class facilities and he later practiced at a local church. Although he didn't become the next kid on the block, he worked hard and received late recognition and a rapid growth spurt. He transitioned from a 'little guy' to 6'10" when he entered his senior year. Obviously, Anthony Davis became the #1 player in the 2011 class.

At one time, with the Perspectives Charter school, he averaged 32 points, 22 rebounds, and 7 blocks. His quality performances led him to numerous accolades, including the 2011 McDonald's All-American Game and the 10th annual Jordan Brand Classic. He was a first-team selection to the ESPN Rise boys' high school basketball All-American team. For a young boy to gain that much recognition speaks volumes of the power forward's talent.
<h2>College Career at Kentucky</h2>
After all those high school accolades, Davis verbally agreed to join Kentucky despite offers from Ohio, DePaul, and Syracuse and became the number 1 player in the national class of 2011. Coached by John Calipari, and playing one season under him, Anthony David dominated the courts from start to finish. He became the National Player of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, and the Most Outstanding Player. To think of his rapid growth in college was a scary proposition for most teams.

The player set the NCAA freshman records for blocks and won multiple national awards. There was no doubt that Anthony Davis would be the top player in the 2012 NBA draft. The player averaged 15.2 points, 11.2 rebounds, and 4.6 blocks per game, and led the team to its eighth NCAA championship. The block machine finally made it to the NBA after being miles apart in high school.

[caption id="attachment_846323" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-846323" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2021-12-04T033703Z_1277735311_MT1USATODAY17285226_RTRMADP_3_NBA-LOS-ANGELES-CLIPPERS-AT-LOS-ANGELES-LAKERS.jpg" alt="Anthony Davis vs LA Clippers" width="1920" height="1455" /> Dec 3, 2021; Los Angeles, California, USA; Los Angeles Clippers center Serge Ibaka (9) guards Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis (3) in the first half of the game at Staples Center.

<h2>Anthony Davis' NBA Draft and New Orleans Career</h2>
Significantly, Anthony Davis declared himself for the 2012 NBA draft following his Kentucky Wildcats days. The New Orleans Hornets (later Pelicans) drafted Davis in 2012 and selected him as the first pick. At the 2012 NBA Draft Combine, Davis measured at 6 feet 9.25 inches (2.06 m), 221.8 pounds (100.6 kg), and had the second-longest wingspan—7 feet 5.5 inches (2.27 m)—of any player participating. It helped him to block shots easily throughout his career. Without much adaptation time, he established himself as one of the premier defenders in the league.

The player signed his first 3-year, $16 million guaranteed contract with the Hornets and made his debut against the San Antonio Spurs. He made his mark in the game, scoring 21 points but lost the matchup. However, injuries became a cause of concern for the player. Despite all the high-scoring games and blocked shots, he finished second to Damian Lillard in the Rookie of the Year award. Adding around 10 pounds in the post-season, Davis developed his post-game offense and became great in transitions. In a game against Orlando Magic, Davis scored 25 points and 15 rebounds, the youngest player in the franchise's history to do so.

He later earned an All-Star selection and made NBA teams with ease. The player led the league in blocks in 2014 (2.82 per game), becoming the youngest player to do so. Later, Victor Wembanyama broke the record in 2024. The greatest achievement in his New Orleans career became the 59-point game against the Detroit Pistons. He joined Shaquille O'Neal and Chris Webber, becoming the only players to have a 50-point game with 20 rebounds.

Earned All-NBA and All-Defensive honors, making the playoffs and establishing himself as one of the league’s top power forwards as the Lakers came calling. 
<h2>Los Angeles Lakers and Championships</h2>
The player later requested a trade and guess where he went. The Los Angeles Lakers instantly became a championship contender as Anthony Davis joined LeBron James in 2019. He settled nicely and points came in thick and fast. 40-point games became customary as the player broke records at every instant. In a game against the Pistons, Davis set an all-time record for block percentage of 25.6%. Later in 2020, he declined the Lakers' contract offer for free agency in a bid to get a max contract of over $200 million.

Anthony Davis later led the team to the NBA championship in 2020. He and the Lakers earned their 17th NBA title, tying the Celtics' record of 17 title wins although the basketball team from Boston won their 18th. In the process, he became the first player to win an NCAA title, NBA title, Olympic gold, and FIBA World Cup. Quite an achievement, isn't it? He still plays for the Lakers, but injuries plagued him. One step forward and two steps back became a norm for the player who remains injured most of the time.

Yet, he remains crucial for the Lakers in terms of leading the team for rebounds, blocks, and scoring. Anthony Davis becomes crucial to the side heading to the 2024-25 season and hopes to win his second NBA title.

<h2>National Team and International Success</h2>
In terms of donning the Star and Stripes jersey, Anthony Davis achieved success like no other player. He won an Olympic gold in 2012 London with the customary Dream Team. They remained undefeated during the Olympic Games and won the gold medal by dominating Spain. It didn't stop there. The player then earned a selection to the US team for the 2014 FIBA World Cup. He averaged 12.3 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 2.1 blocks per game in 9 games played while shooting 54.9% from the field.

Moreover, the player then returned to the 2024 U.S. Olympic team and helped them win a gold medal. He averaged 8.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists and even got 1.2 steals. Of course, there were 1.5 blocks per game while shooting 62.5% from the field. He remains one of the most decorated players in the U.S. national team's history.
<h2>Personal Life and Esports Career</h2>
Notably, Anthony Davis' parents played a crucial role in his upbringing. His father Anthony Davis Sr. and mother, Erainer, taught him well at a young age. He has a twin sister, Antoinette, and an elder sister, Lesha. Moreover, Lesha followed her brother and played basketball at Daley College. Now coming to the love of his life, Anthony Davis married Marlen Polanco on September 18, 2021. The couple has three children: Nala and two boys whose names they have chosen not to disclose.

In another interesting part of his career, On June 19, 2022, Davis signed with FaZe Clan, joining Faze Clan's Nuke Squad for Call of Duty.

<h2>Notable Records and Accolades</h2>
In terms of records and accolades, Anthony Davis has several records to his name. He holds records in the NCAA, the NBA and franchise stats for blocks, rebounds, and efficiency. In the NCAA, the player had the most blocks in a season by a freshman with 186 blocks. It became the fourth all-time record in the NCAA for blocks in a single season. Meanwhile, his 29 blocks in the 2011-2012 NCAA tournament are tied for second all-time. In terms of scoring, Anthony Davis' .623 FG% remains a record for a freshman. He also got 415 rebounds in 2011-2012, tied for fourth all-time in the NCAA rebounds by a freshman.

In terms of NBA records, he scored a record-breaking 52 points in the 2017 All-Star game, which shocked the fans. But Jayson Tatum broke that record in the last All-Star game by scoring 55. The records don't end there. He became the first player to record 25+ points, 25+ rebounds, 5+ assists, and 5+ steals in a game. Known for his shot-blocking, Davis led the NBA in blocks, three times.

In addition, the player scored 30+ points and 15+ rebounds in four consecutive games, which only two Lakers players achieved. Recently, he won the 2023 NBA In-Season Tournament with the Lakers, setting scoring and rebounding records. Here's a list of notable accolades by Anthony Davis.

<h2 style="text-align: center;">Dwight Howard NBA career </h2>
Dwight Howard earned a massive reputation as a high-schooler and he decided to forego college and join the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">NBA</a>. It was a similar move to that of Kevin Garnett in 1995 and it made sense because Howard idolized Garnett.

The <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/orlando-magic/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Orlando Magic</a> had the #1 pick in the 2004 draft, and they weren’t willing to give up a player of Howard’s quality even though he had no college experience. The 6’10” center wasted no time in settling into the league and immediately showcased his talent on the big stage.

Howard started all 82 games for the Magic in his rookie season which went down as an NBA record. He showed tremendous room for improvement and by the 2008 season, Howard was one of the best players in the NBA by far. He won three successive DPOY awards from 2009-2011.

Howard led the Magic to their second finals series in franchise history against the Los Angeles Lakers in 2009. He was simply sensational throughout the series and averaged 15.4 points and 15.2 rebounds in five games, even though it came at a losing cause.

Short stints with five different teams including the Lakers hurt his career as he lost his footing as the best center in the league. 

Howard came back to Los Angeles in 2019 and re-signed with the Lakers for a second time. This stint proved to be monumental as Howard earned his first chip in 2020. He anchored the Lakers’ defense and put up a strong performance in the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/orlando-bubble/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">NBA bubble</a> to guide the team to the championship.

<h2 style="text-align: center">JaVale McGee: Net worth, Salary, and Endorsements</h2>
JaVale McGee is a 7-foot center who plays for the Phoenix Suns in the NBA. McGee is a three-time World Champion, winning two rings with the Golden State Warriors and the most recent one with the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/los-angeles-lakers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Los Angeles Lakers</a> in 2020. 

McGee was born on January 19, 1988, in Flint, Michigan. He attended two high-schools in his hometown before transferring to Hales Franciscan High School in Chicago. He evolved as a versatile forward/center in high school and later took his talents to the University of Nevada, Reno.

McGee found very little playing time as a freshman and his numbers were stagnant as well. Moving on, he worked hard and earned his place as the team’s starting center in his sophomore year. The Michigan native <a href="https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/javale-mcgee-1.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">averaged</a> 14.1 points and 7.3 rebounds in 2008, after which he declared his eligibility for the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">NBA</a> Draft. 
<h2 style="text-align: center">JaVale McGee NBA Career</h2>
The <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/washington-wizards/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Washington Wizards</a> picked up McGee with their 18th overall pick in the 2008 NBA Draft. He spent three years with the team and never made the playoffs during that stint. He <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/m/mcgeeja01.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posted</a> averages of 10.1 points and 8.0 rebounds in his last year in Washington, after which he was traded to the Denver Nuggets. 

McGee saw reduced playing time and started fewer games with the Nuggets, and they later traded him to the Philadelphia 76ers in 2015. Things didn’t look bright at Philly either as McGee was waived just a month after being signed. 

The Dallas Mavericks later picked up the seven-footer where he missed the team’s first 13 games due to an injury. McGee kept his career in Dallas brief and joined the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/golden-state-warriors/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Golden State Warriors</a> after just one season. 

<img class="size-full wp-image-332401 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200804144821/bng-l-warriors-0213-20-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="2560" height="1707" />

Success finally reached JaVale McGee after switching between five different teams. McGee filled in the Warriors’ requirements and was a part of the team that achieved the double in 2017 and 2018. 

McGee moved on from the Warriors after the second championship and signed with the Los Angeles Lakers. He averaged 12.0 points and contributed well in his rookie season as a Laker and eased into his role a year later to help them win the 2020 NBA championship. 

But his stint with the Lakers came to an end right after and played for the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2020-21 season. Although he played well there, he was shipped to the Denver Nuggets this offseason which eventually led to another deal, and is now going to be playing for the Phoenix Suns in the upcoming 2021-22 season.

He posted averages of 10.1 points and 8.0 rebounds in his last year in Washington, after which he was traded to the Denver Nuggets.  McGee saw reduced playing time and started fewer games with the Nuggets, and they later traded him to the Philadelphia 76ers in 2015. Things didn’t look bright at Philly either as McGee was waived just a month after being signed.  The Dallas Mavericks later picked up the seven-footer where he missed the team’s first 13 games due to an injury. McGee kept his career in Dallas brief and joined the Golden State Warriors after just one season.  Success finally reached JaVale McGee after switching between five different teams. McGee filled in the Warriors’ requirements and was a part of the team that achieved the double in 2017 and 2018.  McGee moved on from the Warriors after the second championship and signed with the Los Angeles Lakers. He averaged 12.0 points and contributed well in his rookie season as a Laker and eased into his role a year later to help them win the 2020 NBA championship.  But his stint with the Lakers came to an end right after and played for the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2020-21 season. Although he played well there, he was shipped to the Denver Nuggets this offseason which eventually led to another deal, and is now going to be playing for the Phoenix Suns in the upcoming 2021-22 season.

Karl-Anthony Towns is a six-foot-eleven center who plays for Minnesota Timberwolves in the NBA. He was born on November 15, 1995, in Edison, New Jersey. Towns was the #1 overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft.

Towns’ parents are Karl Towns Sr and Jacqueline Cruz. In 2020, Towns lost his mother and other family members to COVID-19. 

He attended St. Joseph High School in his hometown and led his team to a couple of state titles in 2013 and 2014. After earning a massive reputation as a senior, Towns committed to play for Kentucky as he was already familiar with John Calipari’s coaching. (Calipari coached the Dominican Republic national team in which Towns played).

Towns gained starting privileges as a freshman and fit into Calipari’s coaching system with the Kentucky Wildcats. He played alongside future NBA stars and averaged 10.3 points and 6.7 rebounds in his first year with the team. 

The Wolves big man has been quite discreet about his private life, but he went public about his relationship in 2020. Towns’ girlfriend is model <a href="https://people.com/sports/jordyn-woods-karl-anthony-towns-relationship-timeline/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Jordyn Woods,</a> who is two years younger than him. 

As for his 2K ratings, Towns has been given an <a href="https://www.2kratings.com/karl-anthony-towns" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">overall rating</a> of 89 in the latest edition of the game. The NBA 2K23 creators have designed him to be an inside-out scorer, and he has 29 badges to his name.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Karl-Anthony Towns NBA Career</h2>
The Minnesota Timberwolves used their #1 overall pick to select Towns in the 2015 NBA Draft. So far, he’s fit in as a foundational player but is yet to enjoy vast playoff experience. 

Towns has lived up to his expectations as an individual in the NBA, and his numbers serve as evidence. The towering center <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/t/townska01.html">averaged</a> 18.3 points, 10.5 rebounds, and shot 54.2% from the field in his first year, which earned him the 2016 Rookie of the Year Award. 

Towns’ two-way ability is a boon to the Timberwolves who are hoping to build on an impressive 2021-22 season. He is a master rebounder and a dominant scorer and has earned his name in the team’s history books.

He holds the record as the Timberwolves player with the most points in a season when he notched up 2061 points during the 2016/17 regular season. He is also the youngest player since Shaquille O’Neal to record 50 points and 15 rebounds in a game. 

In recent seasons, Towns has faced many injury problems and off-court problems that have slowed down his promising career. At his best, he is one of the elite bigs in the league. With the addition of 3-time Defensive Player of the Year Rudy Gobert, the Timberwolves will be hoping to become a major force in the West.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Who is Nikola Jokic?</h2>
28-year-old Nikola Jokic is a Serbian big man who plays for the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/denver-nuggets/">Denver Nuggets</a>. The 41st pick in the 2014 Draft is a 2x NBA MVP and 2023 NBA Champion. The father of one is also a devout horse racer, owning over a dozen horses in his home country that compete in professional races.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Â Nikola Jokicâ€™s Early Life</h2>
Nikola Jokic was born on February 19, 1995, in Sombor, Serbia. The 'Joker' spent most of his early life in Serbia with his family. Nikola Jokic's father is Branislav Jokic, who is an agricultural engineer. Details about Jokic's mother are not public, so very little is known about her except that Nikola and his two older brothers were raised by their parents and their grandmother in a tiny apartment. The 2x NBA MVP started playing basketball with his brothers, Strahinja and Nemanja Jokic, at a very young age.

While Strahinja played professional basketball in Europe, Nemanja played college basketball in the US. Nikola developed a love for the game of basketball from a very young age, playing with his older brothers. After impressing many playing youth basketball, Jokic started playing in the Serbian professional league in 2012. He graduated high school, but he did not attend college.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Â Nikola Jokicâ€™s Wife and Children</h2>
Jokic has been in a long-term relationship with his high school sweetheart, Natalija Jokic. Natalija played volleyball for the Florida Seminoles in 2o13. When Nikola Jokic moved to Denver in 2015, she relocated to live with him. The two later tied the knot on October 24th, 2020, in Sombor, their hometown. The couple welcomed their daughter Ognjena Jokic, in September 2021.

[caption id="attachment_1818053" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-1818053" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2023-06-13T034237Z_360969664_MT1USATODAY20881601_RTRMADP_3_NBA-FINALS-MIAMI-HEAT-AT-DENVER-NUGGETS.jpg" alt="Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets" width="1920" height="1250" /> Jun 12, 2023; Denver, Colorado, USA; NBA commissioner Adam Silver awards the Bill Russell NBA Finals MVP Award to Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (15) after the Nuggets won the 2023 NBA Championship against the Miami Heat at Ball Arena.

The Jokics are a very closely knit and can be seen courtside during most home games. The 6x NBA All-Star is a family man and has multiple practices up his sleeve to drive home the importance of family. Notably, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/nba-basketball-news-nikola-jokics-wholesome-ritual-in-the-presence-of-his-family-vs-celtics-makes-nba-fans-suggest-hes-winning-life/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jokic ties his wedding ring to his sneakers while playing</a> and also has an adorable hand gesture for his daughter who is courtside which relates to one of her favorite songs.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Â Nikola Jokicâ€™s Net Worth 2024</h2>
Nikola Jokic reportedly has a net worth of around $50 million. The Serbian signed a <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/nba-active-basketball-news-tennis-news-novak-djokovic-falls-thirty-one-million-short-of-fellow-serbian-star-nikola-jokic-despite-being-atps-two-thousand-twenty-three-highest-earner-2/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">massive $272 million contract extension</a> with the Denver Nuggets in 2022. With this improved contract, Jokic will earn around $47 million for the current season. So far, the towering center has amassed over $190 million in NBA salary. He also reportedly earns around $750,000 per year from his endorsement deals with companies like Nike, Panini, and Western Union.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Nikola Jokic's Career</h2>
Nikola Jokic initially started playing youth basketball with KK Vojvodina Srbijagas. As his performances improved, Jokic gained attention from some of the most popular teams in Serbia. Then in 2012, KK Mega Basket came calling and Jokic signed his first pro contract with the Belgrade-based team. However, he still mostly played for the junior team throughout the 2012-13 season to hone his skills. In the next season, Jokic received more game time from the senior team, grabbing the opportunity with both hands. In 2014, Nikola Jokic declared for the NBA draft.

The Denver Nuggets famously selected the 'Joker' as the 41st overall pick in the second round <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/nba-active-basketball-news-nikola-jokic-draft-class-forty-players-and-a-taco-bell-commercial-overshadowed-two-time-mvps-big-night/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">during a commercial break for 'Taco Bell'</a>. The 6'11" center then returned to KK Mega Basket to continue his development. After another successful year in the Serbian League where he won the Adriatic League MVP Award, Jokic joined the Nuggets to pursue his NBA career in 2015. Jokic's versatility was evident right from the start in his rookie season.

He averaged 10 points, 7 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game in his first season, playing 80 games and starting 55. The Nuggets' faith in the young star was also clear. Furthermore, his displays earned him a spot on the All-Rookie First Team. From there, Jokic progressed quickly, finishing his second year with 6 triple-doubles (4th highest that year) and a second place in the Most Improved Player race. The next season was when the 'Joker' established himself as a premier threat, recording the fastest triple-double in NBA history.

Nikola Jokic&#8217;s father is Branislav Jokic, who is an agricultural engineer.

The 2x NBA MVP started playing basketball with his brothers, Strahinja and Nemanja Jokic, at a very young age. While Strahinja played professional basketball in Europe, Nemanja played college basketball in the US.

Notably, Jokic ties his wedding ring to his sneakers while playing and also has an adorable hand gesture for his daughter who is courtside which relates to one of her favorite songs. Â Nikola Jokicâ€™s Net Worth 2024 Nikola Jokic reportedly has a net worth of around $50 million. The Serbian signed a massive $272 million contract extension with the Denver Nuggets in 2022. With this improved contract, Jokic will earn around $47 million for the current season. So far, the towering center has amassed over $190 million in NBA salary. He also reportedly earns around $750,000 per year from his endorsement deals with companies like Nike, Panini, and Western Union. Nikola Jokic&#8217;s Career Nikola Jokic initially started playing youth basketball with KK Vojvodina Srbijagas. As his performances improved, Jokic gained attention from some of the most popular teams in Serbia. Then in 2012, KK Mega Basket came calling and Jokic signed his first pro contract with the Belgrade-based team. However, he still mostly played for the junior team throughout the 2012-13 season to hone his skills. In the next season, Jokic received more game time from the senior team, grabbing the opportunity with both hands. In 2014, Nikola Jokic declared for the NBA draft. The Denver Nuggets famously selected the &#8216;Joker&#8217; as the 41st overall pick in the second round during a commercial break for &#8216;Taco Bell&#8217;. The 6&#8217;11&#8221; center then returned to KK Mega Basket to continue his development. After another successful year in the Serbian League where he won the Adriatic League MVP Award, Jokic joined the Nuggets to pursue his NBA career in 2015. Jokic&#8217;s versatility was evident right from the start in his rookie season. He averaged 10 points, 7 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game in his first season, playing 80 games and starting 55. The Nuggets&#8217; faith in the young star was also clear. Furthermore, his displays earned him a spot on the All-Rookie First Team. From there, Jokic progressed quickly, finishing his second year with 6 triple-doubles (4th highest that year) and a second place in the Most Improved Player race. The next season was when the &#8216;Joker&#8217; established himself as a premier threat, recording the fastest triple-double in NBA history. From 2019 onwards, Jokic has made the All-Star team for five straight years. He then became one of the best players in the league and won back-to-back NBA MVP honors in 2021 and 2022. Though he couldn&#8217;t win three consecutive regular-season MVPs, Nikola Jokic compensated by winning the 2023 NBA Championship and Finals MVP Award instead. It was the Nuggets&#8217; first championship in franchise history. He became only the second player to post a triple-double on his NBA Finals debut. Jokic is also leading the MVP race for the 2023-24 season while breaking into the top 4 on the list of career NBA triple-doubles.
